Just found out that RM was declared bankrupt in September 2017:

If he is locked up and bankrupt I would say yes.
What do you want..finger nails pulled out or maybe transportation.
Serious knife crime offenders only get a few years.
It appears the ISIS poster girl will return with little more than a rap on the knuckles.

Many will be delighted at the news and no doubt can't wait till the 15th March (sentence date). RM like us all has his faults but having known him and his ways for close on 21 years he is an down to earth decent enough chap-unlike most of the back stabbers on here who can't wait to hit the keyboard. He gave many myself included their early steps into aviation and for that if nothing else I for one will always be grateful.

I am delighted that someone who has flown illegally, endangering the lives of at least 3 others on just this one escapade has been found guilty of such deeds.
I hope he is punished severely for the 7 offences he committed.

Having dealt with the consequences of previous misdeeds and obfuscations by RM whereby others have died, I can only say that the verdict on these charges is a good one for aviation in general and that the punishment, whatever form it takes, is richly deserved. There are of course others who have been closely involved in his past misdeeds that may even now need to be very nervous. Football agents and some ex airline pilots included.

What are the odds, do you think, of him actually turning up on the 15th of March for sentencing?
A former business partner of his owns a light twin...........................just saying

The CAA really need to get their act together and do their job of protecting the public from these cowboys.
The Barton incident could have easily ended in a major tragedy if that PA28 had crashed on the nearby motorway.
Elsewhere there is the case of the Sala crash and lots of potential for similar incidents with Wingly etc.
Why would anyone want to get an AOC and employ properly trained commercial pilots only to see these unlicensed flyboys
undercut them?
